Container Image Artifact Upload

Github action for uploading container image artifacts. It leverages github action's artifact in the background to share docker image across jobs. The artifact created by each run of this action will be visible in the list of artifacts for the workflow and is prefixed with action_image_artifact_. For eg. docker image foo:latest will be uploaded as action_image_artifact_foo_latest.

See container-image-artifact-download.
